This estimate is slightly higher than the government&#8217;s forecast, but reflects the country&#8217;s real needs in the context of the ongoing war and reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p> Nikolaychuk stressed that there is currently a significant funding gap, which is about two-thirds of the total need. Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko previously put the unfilled gap at $37 billion for two years.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, according to Nikolaychuk, if we consider the needs for 2026 separately, they amount to about $45 billion, part of which will be covered by the reserves formed from international assistance received in 2025 and confirmed sources of funding.<\/p>\n<p> Experts emphasize that successfully closing the financial &#8220;hole&#8221; is critically important for the stability of Ukraine&#8217;s economy, ensuring the defense budget, and restoring infrastructure after the war.<\/p>\n<p> As a reminder, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/mizhnarodni-rezervy-ukrainy-u-lypni-znachno-znyzylys\/\">as of August 1, Ukraine&#8217;s international reserves amounted to $43.03 billion, which is 4.5% less than a month earlier.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine plans to attract about $65 billion in external financing for 2026\u20132027.
